HEXAGRAM 01 \u2013 Chien – The Creative<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above <\/span>THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below <\/span>THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The first hexagram is made up of six unbroken lines.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

These unbroken lines stand for the primal power, which is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>light giving, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>active, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strong, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>of the spirit.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The hexagram <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is consistently strong, in character, and since it is without weakness, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>its essence is power or energy.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Its image is heaven.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Its energy <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is represented as unrestricted<\/font><\/span> by any fixed conditions in space and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is therefore conceived of as motion<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Time is regarded as the basis of this motion<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the hexagram includes also <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the power of time and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the power of persisting in time, that is, duration<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The power represented by the hexagram is to be interpreted in a dual sense<\/font><\/span> – in terms <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>of its action on the universe<\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>of its action on the world of men<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In relation to the universe, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the hexagram expresses the strong, creative action of the Deity<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>In relation to the human world, <\/font><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it denotes the creative action of the holy man or sage,<\/font><\/span> of the ruler or leader of men, who through his power awakens and develops their higher nature<\/font><\/span>.  <\/span><\/font><\/span>1<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE CREATIVE works sublime success, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Furthering through perseverance.  <\/span><\/font>2<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the original meaning, the attributes (sublimity, potentiality of success, power to further, perseverance) are paired.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

When an individual draws this oracle, <\/font>it means<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that success come to him from the primal depths of the universe and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that everything depends upon his seeking his happiness and that of others in one way only, that is, by perseverance in what is right.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The specific meanings of the four attributes became the subject of speculation at an early date.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinese word here rendered by \u201csublime\u201d means literally <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201chead,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201corigin,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cgreat.\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This is why Confucius says in explaining it: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cGreat indeed is the generating power of the Creative; all beings owe their beginning to it.  <\/span>This power permeates all heaven. 3 <\/b>For this attribute inheres in the other three as well.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The beginning of all things lies still in the beyond in the form of ideas that have yet to become real.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But the Creative furthermore has power to lend form to these archetypes of ideas.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>This is indicated in the word success,<\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the process is represented by an image from nature: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cThe clouds pass and the rain does its work, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>all individual beings flow into their forms.\u201d <\/font><\/span>4<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Applied to the human world, these attributes show the great man the way to notable success: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he sees with great clarity causes and effects,<\/b> he <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>completes the six steps at the right time and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>mounts toward heaven on them at the right time, as though of <\/b>six dragons.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The six steps are the six different positions given in the hexagram, which are represented later by the dragon symbol.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Here it is shown that <\/font>the way to success lies in <\/font><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>apprehending understanding and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>giving actuality to the way of the universe (Tao), <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>which, as a law running, through end and beginning, brings about all phenomena in time.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus each step attained forthwith becomes a preparation for the next.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Time is no longer a hindrance but the means of <\/font>making actual what is potential.<\/font><\/u><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The act of creation having found expression in the two attributes \u2013 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>sublimity and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>success, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

the work of conservation is shown to be <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a <\/font>continuous <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>actualization and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>differentiation <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

of form<\/font><\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This is expressed in the <\/font>two terms <\/font><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cfurthering\u201d (literally, \u201ccreating that which accords with the nature of a given being\u201d)<\/font><\/span> and<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cpersevering\u201d (literally, \u201ccorrect and firm\u201d).<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/font>The course of the Creative <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>alters and shapes beings until each attains its true, specific nature, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

then <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>keeps them in conformity with the Great Harmony.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus does it show itself to further through perseverance.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In relation to the human sphere, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

this shows how the great man brings <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>peace and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>security<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b> <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

to the world through his activity in creating order<\/font><\/span>: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHe towers high above the multitude of beings, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

all lands are united in peace.\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Another line of speculation goes still further in separating the words <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201csublime,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201csuccess,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cfurthering\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cperseverance,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

and parallels them with the four cardinal virtues in humanity.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

1)To sublimity, which, as the fundamental principle, embraces all the other attributes, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>it links love.<\/b><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

2) To the attribute success <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>are linked the mores<\/b>, which <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>regulate and organize the expressions of love and thereby <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>make them successful.  <\/span><\/font>5<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

3) The attribute furthering <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is correlated with justice<\/b>, which creates the conditions in which each receives <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that which accords with his being, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>that which is due him and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>which constitutes his happiness.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

4) The attribute perseverance <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is correlated with wisdom<\/b>, which <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>discerns the immutable laws of all that happens and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>can therefore bring about enduring conditions.<\/font><\/font><\/span>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

These speculations, already broached in the commentary called Wen Yen, <\/i>6 <\/b>later formed the bridge<\/font><\/span> connecting <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the philosophy of the \u201cfive stages (elements) of change,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>as laid down in the Book of History (Shu Ching) <\/i>with <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the philosophy of the Book of Changes, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>which is based solely on the polarity<\/font><\/span> of positive<\/font><\/span> and negative<\/font><\/span> principles.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the course of time this combination of the two systems of thought opened the way for an increasingly intricate number symbolism. <\/font>7<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The movement of heaven is full of power.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

the superior man makes himself <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strong and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>untiring. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Since there is only one heaven, the doubling of the trigram Ch\u2019ien, of which heaven is the image, indicates the movement of heaven.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>One complete revolution of heaven makes a day, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the repetition of the trigram means that each day is followed by another.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This creates the idea of time.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Since it is the same heaven moving with untiring power, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

there is also created the idea of duration both in and beyond time, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a movement that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>never stops nor <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>slackens, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

just as one day follows another in an unending course.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This duration in time is the image of the power inherent in the Creative.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

With this image as a model, the sage learns how best to develop himself so that his influence may endure.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

He must make himself strong in every way, by consciously casting out all that is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>inferior and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>degrading.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus he attains that tirelessness,<\/u> which depends upon consciously <\/font>limiting the fields of his activity.<\/font><\/u><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
